Awards and Recognition
Comments From Patients and Families
Medical staff leadership would like to acknowledge physicians for recently receiving positive comments from patients and families. These comments are only a brief sample of the many compliments our physicians receive regularly.
Cecilia Damilano, MD, Pediatrics “Dr. Damilano is great! She brings positive energy, active listening; conveys concern and care. Dr. Damilano is engaging with the patient and parents. She strives to teach for understanding and to meet the concerns of the entire family. Thank you for being awesome!”
Sarah Driesbach, FNP, Pediatric Colorectal and Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery “We expressly ask to see Sarah Driesbach, FNP, for our son’s ongoing care. She is absolutely amazing. I've never met a provider who explains everything so well. She always remains positive about outcomes while being sensitive to when we feel discouraged and need a new plan of action. She is extremely good at what she does, and we are so thankful to have her to help navigate this (sometimes challenging) journey. She has made a huge difference in our lives and I'm sure many others.”
Victoria Elliott, MD, Pediatrics “We are very grateful for the care we received during this hospital stay. Every staff member was professional, respectful, patient and genuinely kind. They answered all our questions and helped us feel supported during a very difficult time. Even though our child was seriously ill, the team made him feel safe and comfortable. Everyone was warm, welcoming and caring. On our last day, our child told a nurse that he loved him, and to us that showed how safe, comfortable and cared for he felt during his stay.”
Jonathan Gisser, MD, Pediatrics “Dr. Gisser was incredible. We were not expecting such a heavy report, and he was so graceful, informative and took so much time helping us digest and process what he found. We are beyond happy to have him as my son’s doctor.”
Rohan Henry, MD, Pediatrics “Dr. Henry is an amazing doctor. My son was privileged to have been treated by him for 14 years. We have now come to the end of our journey with him as my son has reached his maximum height. We are happy that he no longer needs treatment, but sad that we will not have the care of Dr. Henry anymore. We will miss him and his wonderful nursing staff. Dr. Henry, thank you for all you have done for us!”
Alpa Patel, MD, Pediatrics “My son’s sleep doctor is the world's best doctor! She is amazing and wonderful and truly cares for my son's well-being. Thank you for having her within your hospital. She is a blessing for all. She truly does take care of her patients. My 16-year-old actually listens and takes her words to heart and he respects her always.”
Gregory Pearson, MD, Pediatric Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery “Dr. Pearson has helped my daughter keep her leg and we will be forever grateful to him and his staff. At every surgery and visit, he talked to me, asked me if I had questions, explained everything. Very personable and empathetic. You can tell he genuinely cares about the child and their family. I can’t give him enough praise.”
Jennifer Ricciardo, MD, Pediatrics “The doctor was excellent — very caring, attentive and professional. The care provider included me in all decisions and explained everything clearly, including treatment options, risks and benefits. I felt informed and respected. I would definitely recommend this provider to others. The staff and nurses were all kind and helpful, and everything from scheduling to the visit itself was smooth and easy.”
